The Perfect Scoop, Revised and Updated: 200 Recipes for Ice Creams, Sorbets, Gelatos, Granitas, and Sweet Accompaniments A Cookbook by David Lebovitz
5.0
Beautiful book with fantastic recipes that gives you everything you might wish for in regards of icecream and what you want to it with!
Who doesn't love icecream?
And who doesn't love making it at home?
If your answer is not ME to both of those, get this book and fall in love with both!
This book has a huge selection of a lot of different ice-creams, a lot of different flavours and ideas that really everyone can find their personal favourites.
I love that it does not only include milk-based ice creams but also fruit based ones!
A lot of books only show the more typical ice creams and while that is fine, i love that this book includes a lot more than that and with that offers a recipes for really everyone!
I also love that it includes recipes for cookies (to make ice cream sandwiches of course!), brownies, different sauces and toppings and a lot more so that beside the actual ice you have anything else you can dream of to eat it with right there as well.
All the recipes are fantastic!
The only two small little thing are,
- that i did not find in this book was a milk-based ice cream without Egg in it.
I get that the egg gives the ice a smoother and it also makes it possible to freeze it and keep it longer without basically just having a huge brick when you take it back out. But it would still have been nice to have the option. Now i am not a hundred percent sure if it really has not even one egg-less milk based recipes. Its possible there is a LOT of recipes in here so i might have overlooked it.
But i think it would have been a very fitting addition in a book that offers so many options to have.
- more pictures!
I already mentioned in other cookbook reviews i did that i LOVE too many pictures in my cookbooks. And while this book has BEAUTIFUL pictures in the pictures it has, i wish it would show ALL the ice they offer in this book. They take such stunning pictures of the ones they share, it would have been fantastic to see all of them!
But since both of those "complains" are very personal to me i didn't want to take any points from the overall rating because its just way to stunning of a book to not give it the full stars!
If you love sweets this is defiantly a MUST!
